HEY ETX S5 E3 - Jason Williams - Fabulous Cookies
Meet Jason Williams — co-owner of Fabulous Cookies in Longview, Texas — who, along with his brother John and close friend Jason Holt, took over a beloved 20-year bakery tradition from founder Jeff Steinmeyer and hasn't changed a single thing about the recipe. In this episode, Jason shares the wild story of buying the shop, the chaotic first day of extended hours that sold 200+ dozen cookies in seven hours, and some big first-time announcements about nationwide shipping, a mobile app, a building expansion, and new flavors on the way. It's a celebration of local entrepreneurship, family, faith, and the community that makes East Texas sweet.Discover more local stories and stay connected: https://heyetx.vista.page/Find out more about Fabulous Cookies here: https://fabulouscookies.com/Chapters00:00 - Intro & Sponsors02:30 - Meet Jason Williams04:00 - The Story Behind Fabulous Cookies05:10 - Buying the Bakery: Jason's Journey07:20 - Keeping the 20-Year Tradition Alive09:00 - The Cookie Rush & 400% Growth13:00 - Shipping, Delivery & Online Ordering14:30 - The Four Fabulous Cookie Flavors18:30 - Saturday Hours & Building Expansion22:00 - Challenges, Family & What's Next30:50 - The Big Seven Questions38:30 - Prayer & Closing#HeyETX #Podcast #EastTexas #SupportLocal #CommunityVoices #ETXStories #FabulousCookies #LongviewTX #JasonWilliams #BakeryBusiness #SmallBusiness #LocalBakery #EastTexasFood #CookieShop #MobberlyBaptistChurch
